2007 Winnebago Tour key fob door and cargo lock issue

[Cuffemdude]

We have a 2007 Winnebago Tour. Over the past few years an issue has developed regarding the door/cargo locks. Normally, pressing the appropriate buttons on the key fobs locks/unlocks the front door, or cargo bay doors. Now, it takes several presses on the key fob, which sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. I've replaced the batteries on both key fobs and the problem persists. It's as if the issue is the receiver in the RV and not the key fobs. Anyone else experience something similar?

Do you have a new battery charger installed? Some of the pulse-style chargers can interfere with the frequency used by the fobs. Perhaps something else that is making interference?

Not done anything with this on automotive but other areas where radio is used for controls. My first thought is to be sure which item is giving trouble, transmitters or receiver. A logical first step might be to take it to a full fledged radio shop to let them do a quick check that the transmitters are actually sending a signal. This sounds diffiicult but not to a guy who has a set to monitor radio bands for signal. Something like an o-scope but for radio waves in the air. That scope can show what the transmitters are or are not putting out. It is totally logical that they may have failed! But I would first want to checkl their conditon before going for new as they may be working and not the problem!
It will take a bit of looking to find the old school guys who actually have the equipment and knowledge to sort the question but I find it better than shooting blind on the cure!

I had a similar problem some time back. It turned out to be the solenoid inside the door. These are easy to replace, and you can find the parts on Amazon. If your problem is on both cargo doors and the entrance door, then the cause is something else.

If wanting to call around and ask if they have the tools and pricing, what you want to ask about is a "spectrum monitor". Used by shops who do work on a wider range of things, not a cell phone store or that limited type business but one who installls/repairs a wide range of products like two way radio, transmitters, etc.
The idea is simple enough if they have the right stuff to work on things. Set the monitor to watch the correct band the fob uses and key the fob to put out the signal. If the monitor picks up a signal it puts a blip on the screen to tell what freqency and rough gauge of the signal strength.
If the fob puts out a good signal, then you can move to looking at the tougher part of the question.
The reason I say the receiver will be the tougher part is that it involves both getting the correct signal but also the mechanical issues of moving the locks!
It could be as simple as the contacts that should make when you push the button are worn and not sending any signal.
The first trick is finding which direction to head to get it working!
EDIT:
AI says in US that freguency is the 315 megahertz!

Winnebago published a pairing instruction PDF, you might look that up and pair the system again. It is paired at the factory, then the button on the receiver is taped over. https://www.irv2.com/attachments/scs-frigette-keyless-entry-manual-pdf.2008117/
Here are the details from different threads.

I have a 2007 Vectra and it occasionally does the same thing. The receiver is under the driver seat in basement and sometimes it doesn’t get a good signal. My key pad quit working after I had work on motor and it won’t re program so I only have key fob or actual key.
